Regions are two-dimensional areas created from closed shapes or loops. Closed polylines, lines, and curves are valid selections. Curves include circular arcs, circles, elliptical arcs, ellipses, and splines.

Closed polylines in the selection set are converted to separate regions. As a consequence, polylines, lines, and curves are converted to form closed planar loops [outer boundaries and holes (islands) of a region].

This is the faster version of the REGION Command.

You can use this in 2 ways:

  1. Select the Closed elements you want to convert to a Region
  2. Apply the command with no Elements selected. In this case will be considered the latest drawn closed element

It is possible to add islands inside a region as well.
